Rett...I so get this post. I love all the homemade jewelry, but thought, are you kidding me? I don't have that kind of money. So I took a class and made ONE soldered charm...and trust me, they are worth every penny the people ask for them!!

Rett!! You are unreal! I hope your daughter and little Caroline realize how precious you are. Glad my daughter won't see this post! That is just precious and I can't even imagine sewing all those ruffles. Very sweet. :)

Those many hours of ruffling certainly made someone happy! You are not the first to suddenly realize why they retail for such high prices. None of those have so much love sewn into each ruffle, though!Start now on that Halloween one!Happy 4th!

Next best thing to lace camp! Love love love the petticoat. I bet you were nuts gathering and sewing all that chiffon. Its absolutely gorgeous as is your sweet granddaughter. Happy fourth, many blessings, marlis

This certainly makes you the patron saint of all grandmas! I have seen these and decided I definitely don't have the patience but am in awe of those who do. Miss Caroline is one lucky girl. Have a lovely Fourth with your family....Bunny

That's a labor of love if I ever saw one. I used to sew for my girls and know how much work goes into a project like that...all worth it when you see how happy she is with what you made. It's a perfect twirling skirt. Well done, grandma.

Rett, You are every little girl's dream for a grandmother! When I have a granddaughter I dream of being just like lucky, no... blessed you! I am so happy to get a glimpse of sweet Caroline, it is so fun to watch that little darling grow! What a joy!She must feel like a patriotic princess in that beautiful creation! Your work is amazing!!! It might have been labor intense but what pure bliss it is bringing her, I can just tell how she loves it from the pictures!Get started on the black one.. October is only 3 months away!

Have a very happy July 4th! We are going to a national cemetary today with my son and his girlfriend. It is the most wonderful place to be on a national holiday. My father was a "lifer" in the Air Force and is burried there. We go to pay our respects and take in all the hundreds and thousands of American flags lining the quiet roads and the rows of graves. It makes me so grateful to be an American.Love to you, my friend!Yvonne

About Me

I'm a critical care RN & was married 28 yrs to a warm & funny family practice physician, who passed away 2-7-15. I wish we had found each other sooner, so we could have loved each other longer.
I have 1 daughter & am called "Nana Rett" by her 3 children, my 2 grandsons & 1 delightful granddaughter. (Hubby had 12 grands & 3 great-grands, too)
I enjoy sewing, quilting, smocking & embroidering clothing for them along with playing tennis for exercise and do throw an occasional dinner party just to keep my cooking skills from getting too rusty!
I hope your creativity will be nurtured here.
